Back to Normal Business

The holidays are mostly finished, and people are returning from far flung places. We begin the new session refreshed and at KH we have a newly appointed Organist, Mr William Murray. On Sunday 8th. August 2010 he'll be playing for the first time since his appointment.



With any luck the 'Father Willis' will behave, but I'm sure that Willie will soon get to grips with its own little foibles and peculiarities.


The Wedding season is upon us and although we have held 'Parish' Weddings recently,  next weekend's Wedding will be particularly special as it will be someone who has grown up in our own congregation. More on that to come.


With a new Locum Minister and new Organist I'm sure we'll soon settle down to 'normal business'.


Some of our congregation are recently returned from Oberammergau and I'm sure we'll all be keen to hear all about that particular trip. (and to see any photos)


Tomorrow, (Saturday) I'll be travelling home myself from holiday and therefore this weeks 'Guest Photo' is of the Parish Church of St Nicholas one of eight Churches in the "Alcester Minster", which has been newly formed this year. One of the ways the Anglican Church is using to deal with their own particular situation of  'not enough clergy'

Staircase to Heaven

A friend mentioned The Scaffold's Greatest Hits, the musical analogy continues. Even more Scaffold has arrived. and when I visited on Thursday the men were very busy constructing a ----- Staircase to Heaven!

Very secure it looks too, So eventually the Fabric Team will don their PPE and scale the heights. The Structural Engineer has also inspected and has declared that he is very happy with the Works Progress. Today the Concrete arrives which will be poured into the new big hole, which will form the foundation for Truss 3 N. Gosh it's all go this week.

Hidden Treasures!

Guess Where? Any answers? I'll post later. For now enjoy. Oh! and the work is still continuing on schedule.

August Garden Parties

At KH there has been a tradition of having a Garden Party (or parties!) to allow members and friends to come together at the appropriate time to carry out essential works in the garden grounds. Yesterday was one of those days, and the rain did stop and the sun did come out! Firstly, many thanks to those who turned out and contributed their time and energy, and special thanks to Ann Shill for the yummy sandwiches. Our youngest labourer took great delight in sowing the seeds of the Wildflower Meadow, showing great interest in the different sizes and colours of seed, while Mum raked and prepared the ground! Office-bound workers enjoyed their blisters (I hope) proof of their hard work - and a chance for my new First Aid Kit to be used. And what was very pleasant was being able to actually do a little proper gardening apart from just the hard work of cutting grass and hedges! New gardeners were surprised at just how extensive the grounds actually are. Alas; because of Parked c...
